I talked to EBAY and there is no option for 3rd party insurance. They have capped insurance at $1000.00. If you sell a high dollar item you have to ship directly with Fedex, UPS or USPS and pay more.
I see. Did you charge buyer shipping cost? if so, you may have to ship on your own if you want full insurance, I would assume you made money though if you had sold it $3,000? shipping my guess is $80 - $200 depends on how heavy and big the box is?

I paid much more for the bag and it is in new condition so I lost money. The box only weighed 4 pounds and I insured it directly with Fedex, it has already arrived at the authenticator in Las Vegas. Now I'm just waiting for Ebay to pay me. I hate the new Ebay policies and will take down my auctions after today.

It's been a minute since I've sold something on eBay. I had a listing buy it now or best offer at $195. I woke up and saw the item sold for $165.75? I never sent or received an offer? Is there some sort of auto accept now I need to look out for? Thank you
 
I’ve sold bags on eBay via the authenticator process and no issues. Just don’t leave on any accessories like a twilly as they cannot authenticate them and will try to send them back even if attached to the bag.
 
Ok, I’m about to go nuclear. As I have put on here I do report fake Mulberrys on EBay. It’s usually from the serial disc and that leather logo. They have rejected them all! Even one where the same serial number was used on other bags?? 😡😡
 
I would still have it authenticated here, regardless. I’ve seen some fakes listed with “authenticity guarantee” - of course I’ve no idea whether those items passed their authentication, but it does make me skeptical.
 
It's about bloody time !!! Speaking of time, let's hope the sleazeballs that have been sentenced to jail time actually SERVE their full sentences.

It's just a damn shame that the guy at the top (or should that be BOTTOM?) of the Ebay swamp walked away without even a slap on the wrist. There's no way all this could have gone on without his knowledge and his outright approval. General Motors has him now and may they choke on him.

For anyone not familiar with the disgusting story -


eBay stalking scandal​

"...Members of eBay's executive leadership had long been bothered by the couple's posts. Under pressure in early 2019 to enhance performance, the company felt a new sense of urgency. For example, in April 2019, Wenig sent the post about how outsized his compensation was compared to typical employees to eBay’s chief communications officer at the time, Steve Wymer.[6] Wymer replied that eBay was "going to crush this lady."[6] Wenig texted Wymer weeks later: "Take her down."[6] Wymer took their concerns to the head of eBay's security division, Jim Baugh, whose team began harassing the Steiners at home and online.[6] Wymer texted Baugh that Ina Steiner was a "biased troll who needs to be BURNED DOWN;" that he wants "to see ashes;" and that Baugh should do "whatever it takes"...

Devin Wenig​

"...A cyberstalking and harassment campaign against the owners of the online newsletter ECommerceBytes occurred in 2019. This eventually led to charges against seven members of eBay's global security team. The harassment began after an article was published in ECommerceBytes about eBay's litigation against Amazon. Wenig texted a communications executive "If you are ever going to take her [ECommerceBytes writer Ina Steiner] down... now is the time." A subsequentcyberstalking and harassment campaign against the newsletter's authors led to charges against seven members of eBay's global security team. Wenig was not charged in the case...."
...a new twist! :shocked:
